Malick Thiaw has joined Newcastle United from AC Milan for £35 million on a long term deal, and the 24-year-old defender will wear the No. 12 shirt. Manager Eddie Howe said the acquisition fits the club’s evolving plan and brings Champions League experience to a squad that wants to push back into Europe. Newcastle are also stepping up their interest in Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey, with talks underway and a formal bid anticipated. Earlier in the week, Odysseas Vlachodimos completed a season long loan move to Sevilla.
